A few ideas to help lower your utility bills this winter:
o Wrap your hot water heater in an insulating jacket.
o Schedule an annual tune-up for your heat pump, furnace or boiler. Your utility company may provide this service.
o Hire a professional to seal and insulate leaky ducts, and to ensure that the airflow distribution system serving your heating equipment is operating at peak efficiency.
o Clean or replace filters on forced-air furnaces, seal flues in fireplaces you don't use, install drapes or some other covering on windows, and seal holes around plumbing and heating pipes.
o Install a programmable thermostat that will automatically lower night time temperatures.
o Check caulking and weatherstripping, and repair where necessary.
o Close your foundation vents in the winter if there's a crawl space under your home.
o Close the doors to rooms that you don't use.
